Bang Bao Beach Klong Kloi Resorts and Bungalows

Bang Bao Beach Klong Kloi resorts and bungalows comprise just a handful of places to stay, as development has been very slow and measured. Nonetheless, there is a bit of everthing on offer, with backpacker rooms to standard bungalows or more upmarket resorts.

Bang Bao Beach (Klong Kloi) is a very peaceful area to stay with the sea and sand just a few steps away from almost all the rooms. It offers enough restaurants to keep things interesting and even one or two bars, so it could be perfect if you want to escape for a few days. However, it does get busy during the day with people coming over from Bailan Beach, Bang Bao and Lonely Beach.

Bang Bao Beach (Klong Kloi) also sits at the end of the line on the west coast, so having your your own transport makes life a lot easier. Without it, you are vulnerable to the capricious whims of those taxi drivers and their rate cards.

Simply follow the links below to find more detailed listings.

Bang Bao Beach Klong Kloi Resorts

Chivapuri Beach Resort offers large Lanna style villas with a swimming pool at the southern end of the beach, rates start at 3,500bt and rise to 8,500bt for a family room. Next door,Tropical Beach Resort has that brushed concrete style with good value bungalows at 2,500bt.

Back past the bridge on the creek, Chaipura Resort offers something a bit different with large houses spilling down the slopes towards the water. It’s just a two minute walk to the sand, rooms from 2,500bt.

Per Night: BBBB

After the bridge to the beach on the creek at the northern end, 9 luxurious large a/c cabins dotted up the slope with views over the water. Teak wood restaurant, boat trips, kayaks and free transfers from the ferry pier at Ao Sapparot.

Bang Bao Beach Klong Kloi Bungalows

Klong Kloi Cottage in the centre of the beach is a local favourite with simple cute huts from 400bt for fan and bathroom, with plenty more on other styles in the trees at the back. Next door, the long established Bang Bao Beach Resort has mostly a/c rooms at 1,700bt to 2,500bt.

Also on the sand, The Beach and Yu Yu Golden Beach, the two main restaurants at the northern end with all those deck chairs, have now added their own rooms. Yu Yu has the widest selection including new bungalows at around 1,000bt. The Beach, a/c with hot water go out at 1,000bt to 1,500bt.

On the track that leads from the back road to the beach, the makings of a new Lonely Beach MK II have begun to spring up. It’s all very low key at the moment but as of 2017, 4 sets of bungalows are in operation – T Garden Resort, Santisook Bungalows, Yak Bungalows and Treehouse Cottages. All will appeal to the traveller and backpacker on a budget.

At the far end end of the bay, Koh Chang Boat Chalet, the latest name for what was formerly Grand Lagoon and then Aunchaleena Bachfront Resort, used to attract Russia and Chinese tour groups, but they have dropped away considerably to leave a fabulously surreal resort folly. It is tantalisingly close to being very very hip without knowing it.

Yu Yu Golden Beach

Per Night: B-BB

New a/c double bed bungalows with ensuite bathrooms, single and double fan huts and rooms with shared bathroom. Restaurant and deckchairs. Just steps from the sand.

Hat Sai Noi

There are now a couple of places to stay on or near Hat Sai Noi Beach, which is about a kilometre before Bang Bao Beach (Klong Goi) proper. Rasta Beach offers basic bungalows in reggae colours hidden away on the coast just after Tranquillity Bay. On Hat Sai Noi Beach itself, there are rooms available next door to Ido Ido Bar, but Indie Beach is the pick of the bunch with its new cute cottages. All would suit budget travellers.
